Swap Sale at FFC West Loop

You have things that you wish to sell, but online marketplaces can be a hassle with actually getting your stuff out the door. On September 16 from 1:00 – 5:00 pm, we are opening up our outdoor pool deck for a good old-fashioned rummage sale; we host the party while you bring the goods and you sell what you want. And you can even enjoy drink specials at the bar while you browse. For those selling items, we ask that you please limit your inventory to two large Rubbermaid bins size 28”x17”x15”. We also suggest you pre-print any Venmo QR codes and bring your own change as FFC will not supply these goods. We hope to see you there!
